My ds has had the beginning of the dreaded lurgy over the weekend, yo-yoing temperature, drowsy, clingy, loss of appetite etc
I go to phone the doctors about how best to treat him and the little sod is completely fine!!! The fever is completely gone and no signs of anything else wrong with him.
The doctor PHSL and tells me that I should be grateful that he is so resiliant.
HOW DOES HE DO IT????

my kids used to do this to me... I used to dose them up with calpol and they would perk up and be hyper once we got to the surgery...

He's now barging around the flat making up for lost time!! His bedroom looks like a bomb went off!! My whole family comes down with the lurgy and he just gets a sniffle and a few days of a temperature.

Is this the high temp, listless, coughing lurgy spursmum? Keen to know how long it lasts...

I thought it was WB but it never materalised.
He was very dopey, listless, not eating and temp of 40c.
My family have had the versions of ear infetcions, tonsilitis and D&V.
He had the fever for 4 days.

my dd1 had this, temperature as high as 39.6...a bit if a cough and burtsing in to tears a lot. she started feeling bad on friday am, but now seems ok, at the moment. she returned to school as no fever since sunday pm. been hoping she is ok, but I am sure school would have called if she wasn't.

Thanks. Dd went down with it today just wondering how long it'll last and hoping the baby doesn't get it, poor love.
